The present study involves a numerical approach of forced convection of the rheological properties of Casson nanofluids flowing on a vertical plate with variable viscosity and Prandtl number using Buongiorno's single-phase model. The non-Newtonian Casson fluid is very useful in the process of metal coatings and fabrication manufacturing as these types of nanofluids experiences more shear-thinning effects. The influence of velocity, concentration, and temperature profiles for nonuniform physical parameters on the steady Casson nanofluid flow induced on a vertical plate was studied numerically. The investigations include the graphs of velocity, concentration, temperature, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number profiles for velocity ratio parameter (ϵ), Casson fluid parameter (β), and Lewis number (Le). The characteristic features of augmented values of Casson fluid parameter (β) enhance the velocity profile, whereas declines the temperature profiles. Non-Newtonian fluids on a vertical plate are commonly encountered in irrigation problems, heat storage beds, biological systems, petroleum, textile, paper, and polymer composite industries, optimization and solidification processes of metals and
The current study pivoted on the numerical simulation of magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid flow through the irregular boundary over the Riga plate with heat radiation, suction/injection. The governing equations of continuity, momentum, and energy are constructed to be nonlinear in nature, based on the current problem. The combination of Quasilinear technique with finite difference method using irregular boundaries has been used to solve the governing equations. The velocity profile is enhanced for incremented values of Hartman number. The thermal radiation parameter due to Rosseland approximations is enhanced for temperature and concentration profiles whereas it declines the heat transfer and mass transfer profiles. Temperature, concentration, and heat transfer rates increase for augmented magnetic parameter values, but velocity and skin friction coefficient profiles show the opposite behaviour. The enhanced values of Biot number along with suction/injection parameter reduces the values of skin friction coefficient. The radiation parameter helps to drop the energy rate in the fluid flow as it reduced the skin friction coefficient values. The upsurged values of the thermal radiation parameter along with electromagnetic parameter decreases the values of the Nusselt number.
